The shuttle does 17000mph and the men who went to the moon did nearly 25000mph. The fastest flying jet 'fighter' is the Mig 31. Its Russian and was designed to be a high level interceptor to counter the SR-71. Its capable of Mach 2.8 (about 2000mph) but if it overruns the engines (pushes them beyond their design limits it will hit mach 3.2.
